Life has a funny affinity to Irony. It takes great pleasure in presenting situations so dramatic, counter-intuitive and so perfectly opposite, that it can never be just coincidence. On any other day, I would have wondered why a friend suddenly asked for company to the water cooler. On any other day, I would have come right back and checked my bag to see everything was in place.
In short, on any other day, a small golden colored, glittery parcel would not have found its way into my bag, and waited 30 minutes for attention.
Impatience dictated that I carefully peel open the package while class was in progress. Out slipped a note, and the handwriting made me jump down to the signature, where I found the name of the only person who could write that way. I opened it, to find a deep blue tie. Which brought my tally of ties owned from the rather unmanageble number 0, to the much more pragmatic, 1.
The class ended, witha round of Class Rep bums by the northies!, and I left to meet the one who gave the tie. She said,"Lets walk and talk na!", and i dutifully follow. We talk about some random stuff, as is usual, and move towards SC to get her a juice. On any other day, I would have noticed that another friend would have messaged by now, that this one never drinks juice before a meal, or that we were heading toward the area of campus most frequented by birthday parties. On any other day, I would not have gaped like a goldfish, when 35 peeople got up form their chairs, and proceeded to give me another round of bums.
